PZ vs LQ, Pitch Report

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has generally offered help to bowlers, especially in the second half of the innings. The surface is good for batting early on, but slows down as the match progresses. This makes chasing a slightly easier task if teams can manage the spin threat during the middle overs.

Teams that have bowled first here have usually done better in recent matches. Out of the last 8 matches at this venue:

Team Batting First Won: 0

Team Batting Second Won: 6

No Result: 2

Average Score: 130

Highest Team Score: 194/4

Expect captains to choose fielding first if they win the toss, as chasing has brought better results here.
